For ga3 I chose to use Photobucket and LunaPic. I have heard of Photobucket before and that is why I chose to use it. As for LunaPic, I chose it because it has "Luna" as part of the title and that has something to do with my last name :) I really enjoyed using both of these sites as they were both pretty easy to use. I first used Photobucket and I was worried when it took a little bit of time to upload the photo to the website. When it did upload and I went to edit it I was very impressed. Photobucket was VERY user-friendly. It was so so simple to figure out how to edit the photo. When I finished editing and resizing the photo I then had to figure out how to get it to this webpage. There are so many options to share your photo on Photobucket and I decided to use the HTML code and embed it as a widget. Next, I went to LunaPic. It was a little more confusing to use at first. The photo was easy to upload, but from there I had a little figuring out to do. First, I resized the photo. I then had to explore the site and all the features it has. It was amazing to see the array of choices I had to look over. The one thing that makes this site difficult is that you have to undo an effect before you can see another because it will just use the edit one and edit it again. This website took more time because of this. Every time the page reloaded was about 15 seconds. Even with this time delay I did love LunaPic because of all the effects and animations you can use. It was really great to explore these websites because teachers always don't have the money to spend on programs, and if I wanted to teach others the things I have learned in this class to school, FREE is a good option.

Upload speed was a little slow but the tools were fairly fast
Changing the photo effects was fairly fast but if you did not like the image you had to undo that image and the webpage had to reload again so that made it take longer
